Description from the seller

Seiko Quartz Day-Date 5Y23-8A11 Vintage 38mm White Dial Stainless Steel Japan

Offered here is a classic Seiko Quartz wristwatch with a clean white dial, bold Arabic numerals, and a practical day-date display at 3 o’clock. It is a highly wearable, understated Seiko design—made for daily use and built around Seiko’s dependable quartz engineering.

This watch presents very well on the wrist with its balanced 38 mm case size and original Seiko-style stainless steel bracelet. The dial layout is especially attractive for collectors who appreciate legibility and restrained vintage Japanese design.

Size

• With the case/movement family 5Y23, this model is generally associated with the late 1980s to 1990s period.
• Therefore, the serial points to: March (year ending in 9), most plausibly within the late-1980s/1990s decade range.

A short story for collectors

This is the type of Seiko that represents why vintage Japanese watches are so widely collected in Europe: practical day-date functionality, clear typography, and a straightforward design language that still feels modern. It is an honest daily-wear vintage Seiko—simple, legible, and built to be used.
